Geo and Lisa have set out on an adventure... to boldly venture forth to places we have never gone before... to unearth what had previously been to us, a hidden food culture in the city we call home, Spokane. Without a doubt, it is truly a pleasure to taste themany wonderful flavors of the world that lay hidden like treasure in the kitchens of small business owners in nearby neighborhoods until their presence upon the menu catches our eye. Our quest was not to to find the best or the worst... but to try something new, to make new friends and acquaintances and to discover for ourselves more of what life in Spokane is like and what our community has to offer in way of culinary experiences.

The inspiration to embark on such a journey came after several dinner outings where we realized that there were many ethnic foods and extremely nice people who owned restaurants in Spokane. Having found this to be quite remarkable, we simply decided to broaden our horizon, to boldly go where we had never gone before, and keep a log of where we had been, what we ate and what we experienced while we were there.

With time to spend together around the dinner hour and a little lunch money in our pockets that we could give to our community in a "support your local business" type fof way, we began our food trekking journey in and around the city, and even venture out from time to time. It has become our quest, our journey... perhaps even our weird obsession, but whatever it is, whatever you think it may be, it is done with a spirit of adventure, one that we now take with us, everywhere, and wherever we go...

Ahhhhh... yes..... a little Italian restaurant on the river! It's almost like being in Italy! We actually boated into the place, though I really wouldn't recommend that until they fix up the back entrance and the dock. It was a bit scarey.... and we weren't really sure how often people boated to this destination, but there was a dock and we were feeling a little adventurous I guess.

We loved our company of friends that day and the river adventure too. We sat outside and watched the world go by. (This is not us in the p[photo above, just some patrons enjoying music on the patio.)

The outdoor music on the patio was great... a one man band! Who would have known? He was dynamic and talented for sure! We didn't catch his name, but were told he played their often. It seemed he was a street player more so than an entertainer hired by the club, but we were told he played there often.

Not the best service ever. The timing of our bread and such was off and we had to flag the servers several times..... but we were not there for service, just to be with friends and enjoy the mucis as we sat along the river.

Arlo's is a place for Italian....

and seafood filled dishes.

I am not a big fan of eating pasta, but I like it occasionally and the food was YUM!!!

My sis came to visit and on one of our treks we visited Rock City Grill located in the downtown mall at 808 W. Main. I am really glad we went, I liked this place. My sister liked the idea of it being Italian, but we didn't order any pasta anything. In the end, besides having a fun day at the mall together, we ate some great tasting food.

She ordered a Blue Moon beer....

It just so happened to be "Happy Hour" and we ordered some apppetizer-types of foods on sale.

I think we were hungry....
We enjoyed a Thai Pizza... well, a couple of slices from it...
(We actually ended up with a LOT of food and took some home!)

Asian Lettuce Wraps...

and enjoyed also some of the Dungeoness. Crab Spread on Pita Bread...

I enjoyed looking out the window to watch the Gondolas from Riverfront Park in operation. I seemed such a Spokane kinda thing to do!

The service was great, the food was plentiful and yummy. We even had leftovers to be enjoyed the next day. They packaged our food neatly for us to take with us and we had a nice visit with each other too.

Life is good.

One thing i like about this place too, is that THEY WANT TO HEAR from customers.....
like me and you.
